I think he's fantastic. He works full-time for the firm but many think he does little because the press isn't interested in him and doesn't cover his work, not that I think he's concerned about that. He and Sophie are great assets to the monarchy, more so now they are Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.

@@zzzbbbooo Well said. Edward probably enjoys getting on with his job with only a little media scrutiny .

I think they do their very best to support the family and are bringing up their children to do the same.

He was always my mother's and my British Grandmother's favorite and I always asked why? But I think it was because he was the youngest, and had little coverage, so as a quiet personality, these older women could project "ideal royal child" on the blank canvas.

Well, i dont know too much about Prince Edwards. But i must say kudos to him. Our thouhhts and Prayers will guide him.

But Prince Edwards looks more like Prince Charles. Not prince Andrew.

Ok. I ove me some Prince Harry. I so respect Prince William Diana's son. Wow.

​@@beverleyheadley-glover371❤ I do not think he looks like either of them. In fact I don't think any of the Royal Children resemble each other❤

@@7Acushla7 Agree, you'd never know that they were related to each other, yet alone siblings.

That's why the late Queen always wore gloves.

Bullshit, Sophie is a piece of shit woman who was talking shit about the Queen and the prime minister in order for her to get a big money deal with the fake sheikh.

You omitted entitled in the Andrew description.

Hard Working? Doing What Exactly.!

I had a crush on Andrew when I was a teenager. Definitely not anymore. He's disgusting. There's always one in that family. During Edward VII's rein it was his oldest son, Prince Eddy (who died before he ascended and left the job for his more suitable sibling, George V.) And George V's oldest son, Edward VIII would have been a horrible monarch even if he hadn't abdicated. His brother George VI, his daughter Elizabeth II and her son Charles III have a much more appropriate sense of duty. And say what you will about Charles. His marriage to Diana may have been a disaster, but both he and Camilla fulfill their duties as they should.

I heard that he is gay, and left the military because of bullying.

Andrew the most arrogant man alive!! Awful man.

I was about to write this ! The same smile.

The greatest compliment he (or anyone) could receive. Prince Edward is also, like his grandfather, a dark horse with seeds of greatness.

I can’t see that - genetics

Sophie's numerous "sweet talk" carriage rides with old Philip resulted in Edward as the Duke of Edinburgh.

Comparing any of the royal wives to Meghan, is an insult. They can't hold a candle to Meghan!

There is no comparison! Nutmeg is a disgrace ! 🇺🇸

@@token1371 Both Philip and Elizabeth had the role in mind for Edward to inherit for years, nothing to do with Sophie.

In sure The duchess gives Markle very little thought.

Why do the press continue to give space to mention Megan and Harry. It is sickening. The blatant manner of Harry marrying Megan and leaving the UK prior to his aging Mother's demise leaves nothing to the imagination of his carelessness about her feelings. So much for any reciprocity of the love lavished on him by his parents. An ungrateful and heartless son is the least one can comment on his actions.😮

Charles is a mature and sensible man of 74 and he was under tremendous stress when the incident occurred .Of course it is difficult for Patricia Barkley to have any sympathy for him when he had lost both his mother and father over a few months.

Adding to his grief was the fact that the king had a little over four hours sleep in the preceding 48hrs. You'd think that at least one person could lay out a table correctly and find a pen that worked !

i agreed with all that you said about sophie and edward. Not about charles. when people are paid to do a job you expect them to do it to a standard.. and if you are king you can be forgiven for expecting a high standard.

@@thevocalcrone I agree.Surely who ever organised the table should have made sure the pen was useable .

@@annewalden3795 lol i know. The most basic of functions in the world .. as jobs go and they stuffed it. (just slack really, and a very poor effort on their part). I recall watching it and gasping thinking omg who was the fool that did that? :D

True ... that's a fact!

Perhaps when younger , I think as a mother of 4 you connect with different children at different times …. But favorite 🤔 I’m not sure there is truly ever a favorite ❤ ☮️💟 🇺🇸

There can be. There were three of us in our family. My older sister was my Dad's favourite and my younger brother was my Mom's. When I was an adult, my Mother told me that she resented me. Who knows how some people justify things? @@Wildflowers516

@@Annie-ZANo, it's NOT a fact. It is a presumption that people have made but the Queen never made any such statement.

I’d read Andrew was not Prince Philip’s son! Charles, Anne, then later Edward, yes!

Definitely concur with these sentiments.

Edward was always a bit of a pretty. Left the military. Did little work. Spied on William. Sophie has worked, little was ever seen of Edward.Who was disliked by the press, due to his spoilt behavior. Edward is not Harry and could never e.

It’s interesting that Charles and Anne are close in birth, but then Andrew came much later on (some say Porchester, the Queen’s longtime friend, is his biological father), then came Edward! Andrew seems to be built chunky like Porchester, the other’s are slim and balding like Philip! One wonders!

@@juanitamayers8889 I think it's to Prince Edward's infinite credit that he could never, ever be like Harry. Thank goodness for that!

@@judithscobee8102 The only One who wonders is the One who believes in the gossip pedaled by the trash media. The Queen most certainly did not have an affair with Porchester which brought about a baby. Stop reading trash. The Queen had two children when she was still a princess, not for one minute believing that her father would die when she was in her 20s and she would become Queen. She didn't have much time for the first two due to the overwhelming workload and all the travel she had to make to the Commonwealth countries. Later, when everything had settled and she had everything under control, she decided to expand the family. Lord Porchester was a friend from childhood. He was the Queen's horse racing manager. At the time, any woman who had a friendship with a man must have been having an affair with him. They were the social norms of the day. Thank God most people grew up in the meantime - again MOST people.

Reserved.

Hope so !

That is NO REASON to give the title to him.. He will never show the manliness and devotion to his wife that the late Prince Phillip had. NO COMPARISON WHATEVER !

@@franipallas5790 It was Philip's wish that Edward be given the title given that Edward was taking over the duties of the Duke of Edinburgh as he became more frail. I don't think being the Duke of Edinburgh requires what you refer to as "manliness". Edward is completely devoted to his wife.

@@franipallas5790 he's been married to only one person and showed her devotion , Sophie, he is the only one of the Queen's children that have never been divorced.

True. His documentaries on England were excellent, well-done, well narrated, and interesting.

maybe hung over from covid i'm still washing hands when coming home or touching mail or anything coming in will wash my hands.

Actually, the title went back to the Crown after Queen Elizabeth's death and Charles became King. When Prince Phillip died, that and all other titles was actually inherited by then Prince Charles, as being the eldest son. Once Prince Charles became King Charles III, the title of Duke of Edinburgh merged with the crown

​@BDQ1975 the Queen wanted him to have the title So charles just did as his mother requested He was rather busy after his dear mother died 😢

our late Magesty would have been the dowager Duchess of Edinburgh after Prince Philip passed away with the Dukedom passing to Charles as the oldlest son and by extention Camila was technically Duchess of Edinburgh but they didnt use the title, as PoW and Duchess of Cornwell were higher ranking When the Queen died and Charles became King the Dukedom merged with the crown and it became vacant to be reallocated

At least Duchess Meghan hasn’t had a motorcade that killed anyone ‼️

It is true that there is no comparison between the two women.....but your nasty remark about Meghan is just PROJECTION......It really is pitiful how people like you cannot never fulfill your true potential in life because being born without melanin......somehow makes you superior....Not even the erudite can answer this simple question.....Why do the superior eventually die like the so called inferior??????

She's also Diana's doppelganger, which probably makes MM hate her all the more.

Oh, give it a rest. Andrew has permanently left the public face of the royal family and won't be returning.

Just because someone states something is true, does not mean it is. Especially when said person is a proven liar herself, and especially when the allegations she has made are completely unproven. Insinuating publicly that these statements are true, does not in fact make them true. How would you feel if you were regularly smeared with out any proven evidence?

@@nzlander4653 Exactly, she was a working prostitute who started with Epstein when she was 17 years old, not a child, and she admitted to procuring young girls for Maxwell, so she should be in an adjoining cell. She also accused Alan Dershowitz of the same thing but later admitted that wasn't true.

Agree. Maybe OCD about germs.

And they probably don’t get mistreated like Harry’s dogs and ponies do.

@@daphneduryea9136 so if you meet someone who dislikes shaking hands, they must be OCD? Are you American?

@@monique8641 No. I said 'maybe'

i'm sure Andrew is sick that he did not get the DOE title he thought he was the favourite son.

Don't insult Sophia. She's so much more relatable and sincere.

Agree. Now with the passing of his father, mother and other royal drama, he has had no other option than to start earning his title / privilege. Though not much is written about Edward, his life has been very privileged

Something seriously wrong was he was given the role of newest toy in the family of four. The Queen was more mature as she had become more seasoned being The Queen. She had realized that after raising the first two, life is so short and she gave the 2nd two more of her time. Maybe her husband had mellowed out as well. So here comes a pretty baby who delights the whole family. The two older sibs probably played with Andrew as the new brat in the stiff palace.

I think the Queen did it before Diana

@@veenamishra8950 You “think”…….😊

The Queen and her parents before her were shaking hands before Diana was born... you must be under 40

@@Trish-ql9kz Diana broke into the frontier of openly shaking hands, holding babies, hugging fans of the Royals. She was totally “rocking the boat” by meeting & greeting the public… Diana’s legacy is one of breaking down centuries-old walls & barriers of an “old-fashioned, old-school” Monarch. Undeniably, she “breathed new-life” into the entire palace….

Diana fans are such a bore. She was a slut who stepped out on her marriage long before Charles did. She behaved like a petulant child when not getting her way. Just like Meghan. Diana could never receive enough attention even if Charles could have found 25 hours in a day. Nothing was ever enough for her, including men. She was sleeping her way through the phone book, back when there was such a thing.

She started at soup kitchens with her mother as a child. And built water wells with World Vision in Rwanda before she married Prince Harry. There’s so much you should really check out the Duchess’s biography 🤗‼️

​​​@@s6352If she built a well we would see a footage of it every Tue snd Thu, and if she contributed any substantial money we would hear about it on other days of the week.

After that she only 'donates' in exchange for awards to get pictures, and lately she has to get paps to do the job. 🙄

Patricia she has enhanced the reputation of her father in law, her husbands step mother and all the other Senior Royals for absolutely nothing .

I agree. He doesn't look like he has a bit of prince Phillip in him. It would serve phillip right seeing as Phillip cheated so much.

Edward is very influenced by the DOE - the DOE didn't like shaking hands with people either. He noted he was not running for public office and that always made him think he was campaigning.

Actually it waas Elizabeth's parents, King George VI and the Queen Mother, that started the tradition, long before Diana was even born.

@spiritHawk7. You are completely wrong. Dians didn't start everything, though she did turn Hazmat into a monster.

not at all he wrote a book and dedicated to his younger brothers, he would read them stories.

He was offered a Dukedom, as was customary. He went with the lesser Wessex title (an Earldom), because it was a name of a fictional character he liked. Edward is a bit of a romantic.

@@texanpondue he wasn’t offered a dukedom… and he would have received the earldom title anyhow.

Not with blood Royals. Just as QEII's husband was Prince Philip ( so that he did not outrank her; a King outranks a Queen), If Charlotte was granted the title Duchess of ... her husband would outrank her as Duchess is the equivalent of "Mrs Duke". As a Royal Princess, if she is granted the title Duke in her own right then it is she who holds the rank. The title was eventually granted to Prince Edward in accordance with the wishes of QEII and Prince Philip who had promised him the title years before. Giving the title to Charlotte was just speculation by Royal commentators and the media.

Seems odd calling Charlotte a Duke. Duke is male. Duchess is female????

She'd get the Duchy, as a Duchess. So Duchess of Edinburgh holding the Fuchy of Edinburgh. But she is also slated to be the next Princess Royale, after Princess Anne. So it's all premature at this point.

Princess not Duke surely
